a little OT, but nevermind

two basic thing

1) application/ecmascript;version=5 is not necesary a mimetype
the full tag is <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type"
content="application/ecmascript;version=4">
and I think this would be interpreted as plain text mimetype

2) even if all that was causing svn to see those files as binary
you can still force the mimetype by editing autoprops in your subversion config

for ex:
[auto-props]
*.es         = svn:eol-style=native; svn:mime-type=text/plain
*.es3        = svn:eol-style=native; svn:mime-type=text/plain
*.es4        = svn:eol-style=native; svn:mime-type=text/plain
